* FanDisservice: Viewers familiar with the original story might be intrigued by the prospect of what sorts of CourtlyLove antics Gawain is subjected to in this film. Suffice it to say, they are ''not'' tantalizing at all. [[spoiler:Lord Bertilak's lady's seduction of him is such a humiliating affair that he hightails it out of the castle. When Bertilak meets with him later, he forcefully kisses Gawain, the scene having none of the "just passing along what he received" innocence of the literary version.]]

*** It is implied in a few spots that [[spoiler:Gawain is impotent, as Essel comments that he cannot "get it up", his interaction with the lady lasts only seconds, and he's only seen conceiving children in the dream sequence.]]

* AdaptationalConsent: happens twice. In the poem, the Lady flirts with Gawain and tries to seduce him, but he refuses. However, he kisses her willingly. [[spoiler: In the movie, she does seduce him, but it is framed as her taking advantage of him - see Main/QuestionableConsent below]]. Later on, in the original Gawain is the one to kiss the Lord, several times, with neither of them minding it. [[spoiler: In the film the Lord kisses Gawain against his will.]]
